I’ll be honest with you, I’m technically impartial to all systems, though I do tend to prefer the 360 as Nicole and I have a supreme appreciation for achievement points. Bearing that in mind, I was most interested to see if Microsoft would unveil anything noteworthy at today’s press conference and boy, did they deliver. Some of their offerings piqued my interest more than others, but generally speaking it was a much stronger show than last year and there’s a lot to take in here. Read on for a nearly complete list of what I felt were the high points of the show today.
Starting off they spoke a bit about The Beatles Rock Band, which I confess, I couldn’t stream the video fast enough to check out, but I’m sure you can find it on YouTube shortly. You can also watch a great trailer for it over at the official website here. I’ll admit, I was skeptical about this title at first, but after seeing the trailer I know I won’t have a choice in the matter. The visuals look bright and colorful and gameplay appears to revolve around The Beetles in their various incarnations through the years. The character models look spot-on and I’m sure this will end up being a big seller to those that are rhythm-game inclined (or rabid Beatles fans) This isn’t exclusive to the 360 though, and should also satisfy all of you Sony fanboys out there whenever it debuts this September.
